I knew that Carter was growing out of his crib and I needed to have options for him to sleep in and I also wanted a place for guests. I knew that I wanted a bunk with a twin over a queen. there are not a ton of options for that and it is quite pricey. I decided to make a bunk bed. I looked on Anna-white and found a plan for a bunk bed that I could do and I liked. So I bought the wood, borrowed some tools, bought some tools and started. I cut the wood to the lengths and started sanding. Sanding and sanding and sanding. I sanded for about 4 days. My arm hurt and my shoulder hurt, but while I spent hours sanding I was inspired of a gospel principle I may share later... anyway. Here it is, stained, sanded, and it holds the kids. I love it because when we get a bigger home we can just have a loft bed, we can have just a queen. It is versatile.
Also I wanted some place to store our skiis so I went to work and built this little ski holder in about 1 hour. It works great. I am looking for another project. I got a really nice drill now and a new corner pocket tool to use. Let the building begin.

You do some nice work!! Did you use duct tape anywhere? :) hehe I'm very impressed. I think building/refinishing old wood pieces is fun too...just haven't figured out how to do it with young kids yet. Te lumshin duart!
OF course you built your own bunkbed, macguyver.
